Camberwick Green.
Alan Entwistle
name is Windy Miller, and I am about to take my o-level in childrens
television for the 4000th time.
I once visited Trumpton and Chigley but we didn't get on.
I feel sure that one of the questions that will come up in the paper
this year will be to name every single character who ever appeared in
the popular children's documentary, the eponymous "Camberwick Green".
Can you help with this little brain-teaser?
Ps: what's good old Brian Cant doing these days. We used to hear him
all across the village back then.

her had nothing on us.
How is Camberwick Green these days. Have they tore it down for a by-pass yet?

The Chigley crew are OK, but Trumpton has never been the same since the riots.

Well let me see there was:-
1. Your good self Windy
2. Me, Farmer Jonathon Bell.
3. Dr Mopp (you must remember that old banger he had?)
4. Captain Snort (Of Pippin Fort. Do Do Do, Do Do Do, Dee Do Dee Do Doo Do Do Do). I here they're all on tour duty in Bosnia at the moment.
5. Roger Varley The Sweep., went bankrupt when everybody in Trumptonshire got eco-friendly and started using smoke-less fuel. Set up a security firm in Trumpton, after the riots.
6. Mr Crockett at the Garage. He still does a roaring trade, although there was that nasty investigation with Roger Cook. Apparently he welded the front half of Captain Snorts army truck to the back of Dr Mopp's vintage car (when Dr Mopp retired
and bought that Skoda)..
7. PC McGary (number 452). Still trying to get a part on 'The Bill.
8. Mickey Murphy the Baker. Went bankrupt when that new out-of-town shopping centre opened, just outside Chigley. It's next door to the buscuit factory. All the workers complained because they can't go to the car park and have a dance aft
r work like they used to.
9. Mrs Honeybunn and her Baby. Her baby got over the measels and now does an exotic dance act at 'One of those clubs' so Mrs Honeyman told me. He was such a nice boy too.
10 Paddy Murphy. Now owns a very successful brewery and he is not bitter.
11. Mr Dagenham The Salesman (I heard he went into leather goods)
12. Mr Carraway The Fishmonger (Now Vegetarian) and manages the local Holland and Barrett in Trumpton.
13. Peter The Postman. Got run over by Pat in a nasty mailvan incident. Apparently Pat said that Peter was 'On his Patch' and anyone 'On 'is manor' would get 'sorted'.

Still sharper than a thorn, Windy? Still spry and nimble when you grind
the corn? Nah, s'pose that's too much to hope for, at your age....

Mr Murphy the Baker, with children Paddy and Mary
Mr Murphy is a master baker
Pudding, pie and pastry maker
Biscuits, buns and birthday cakes
Everything is marvellous that Murphy makes.
Mrs Honeyman the gossip, with baby,
Chatter chatter have you heard the latest gossip, not a word
to anyone. And did you know that, natter natter, well my dear
you could have knocked me over with a feather ...
I was shocked!
Mr Honeyman 'who keeps the Chemist shop' (though I don't know if he featured
other than as a line in a song)
Mr Caraway the fishmonger
Fresh fish, fine fresh fish....
Jonathan Bell the farmer
Captain Snort and the six soldier boys at Pippin Fort
Dr Mopp, the -- er -- doctor
Mrs Dingle from the Post Office
Peter (something) the postman
A garage mechanic, whose name escapes me
Probably some more people I've forgotten
And of course Windy Miller, which is where we came in....

With a name like Snort, I wuould have thought that he was that Guardsman
that was accused in the Sunday papers of drug-dealing from Buckingham
Palace.

Well Toni Arthur released a pagan album with husband Dave entitled
"Harken to the Witches Rune".
It's true.

Well you can check on Sunday 9 July, because Camberwick Green is back,
following the recent airing of Trumpton at about 7am on Channel 4.
(I know because my 4 year old daughter watches ...)
